Recipe View Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the fennel-infused wine sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately.

For best results, use bone-in pork chops, as they tend to be more flavorful and stay moist during cooking.
Adjust the amount of garlic salt to your preference. You can also use regular salt and add a pinch of garlic powder for more control over the seasoning.
To add more depth of flavor, consider adding a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme to the skillet while simmering.
Serve these pork chops with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I made this last night, and it was a huge hit! My family loved it. I added a little cream to the sauce at the end for extra richness.
